Photo of the Week: Santorini, Greece

We needed to return our rented moto by 4pm, so we decided to visit Santorini’s white sand beach before leaving the island. However, there were some road signs that just didn’t make sense and we decided to follow any sign that said beach. To our delight, we found ourselves at the red sand beach. We had to park the moto and walk about 10 minutes (over red rocks and stones), but it was well worth it. The blue water and deep red sand was such an unexpected surprise! It was hard to leave the beautiful spot, but we did return the moto and caught our flight away from paradise and back to reality.

Great photo! Leaving Santorini was the hardest thing I have ever done. We traveled on to Rhodes from Santorini and I just cried because I felt like there was a hole in my heart. Can’t wait to travel back… someday.
